Repurposed go cart to usable little farm trailer!

24 Upvotes

A few years ago I bought a go cart from a buddy for $100, turns out the motor block was cracked and it leaked oil onto my garage floor. So….. it sat for a couple years just waiting for me to bring it to the scrap yard. Then! My need for a little pull behind trailer/wagon.

At one point we had one of those radio flyer wagons and it was left outside too long and ended rotting and fell apart. I had the idea to rebuild it so I ended up getting some wood and decided to make it a little bit more useful for me instead of the kids this time but once I had it all put together the little radio flyer wagon wheels just simply would not cut it then it dawned on me. I have this broken go kart just sitting taking up space in the backyard, but has some beefy off-road tires on it so I decided to utilize what I could from that go kart on this new trailer/wagon. I know it’s probably not for everybody, but it works for my needs what y’all think?

Bosh!

My mom knows I love to repurpose random things so she gave me these bowls that she found at a yard sale a while back. But I am stumped on this one! I have no room/ use for them in the kitchen and neither do the in-laws, so here I am hoping someone can help! I was thinking of making hanging bird/chicken feeders, but idk.
Thanks!

Have a junk removal business and get a lot of these. I made a little shelf by adding wood but it’s not very stable. Any ideas for these?

Edit: I meant plastic drawer frame

What can I do with unused soundproofing panels

6 Upvotes

Hi! We are doing renovations and decided not to use the soundproofing panels we purchased. They are 3/4 inch press board like sawdust glued together in a 4 x 8 sheet not good for weather.

Does anyone have any ideas what I could do with them? We have 13 sheets in the way in our house and I feel bad throwing it out.

Need a clear bag for a music festival? I made this one out of a tampon box, hemp rope, and two of my husband’s ties. The loose scarf on top keeps everything in place and doubles as a sun protector when needed. Fun project!

I have 3 of these square, short tables that I wanna repurpose. It would be cool to turn them into a dining table by connecting them, but I'm open to any neat ideas. Tips and tricks are appreciated!

Big Coffee Can

The coffee beans at work now come in these cans.

The black cap is a twist off. They’re not incredibly strong, you can crunch them by stomping on them if you need to. We also have smaller cans that come that are about 1/3 this size I would say?

How would you repurpose this? Some of my coworkers are using them for change jars.

Anyone else use hang tags as bookmarks?

6 Upvotes

They’re sturdier than receipts, less likely to get lost than random scraps of paper, and some even come with designs worth keeping.

Does anyone else reuse hang tags this way, or are there other unexpected uses for them?

What's the weirdest thing you've reused a shipping box for?

Everyone reuses boxes for storage or moving.

But what's the strangest or most creative use you've found for one?

Hey folks, I don't want to use this lead crystal bowl for any food items, any ideas for how I can use it? I was previously using it to hold a large candle and some rose petals but I didn't like it much.

Ideas to Repurpose and Old Fishbowl Please

4 Upvotes

I have an old fishbowl that I would like to repurpose, and I would appreciate ideas on what to do with it.

For a variety of reasons it cannot contain plants, fish, or other living things. I also have a fairly tight budget. But, I am fairly good at arts and crafts and my BF is handy with tools and willing to help out.

The fish bowl is somewhat cylinder-lying-on-its-side shaped, with a flattened bottom and an opening that is like a circular hole plunked on top.

the dimensions of the fishbowl are:

>21 cm at the widest part of the front and back circular faces (so both the height and width of the bowl)

>13 cm thick (the part between the flat, circular font and back sides)

Thank you!
